My maternal grandfather had a sister named Julia who never married. Her parents had sent her too Budapest where she worked as a servant in the home of a Jewish family until 1956, when the family left Hungary.  She inherited their apartment and lived alone there in her flat.  When she grew elderly and ill, my mother’s sister, Ilona Breiner, moved in with her to look after her.  When Julia died, my Aunt Ilona went to live with her mother, Grandma, and we got Julia’s flat. That is how we could finally move from the flat of my wife’s parents in Kispest where we spent five years.
